No need for a 4/20 themed show given what I normally play anyway, so instead this week we do a feature on German drummer Harald Grosskopf. This drummer has been a stalwart of the German music scene, from progressive rock to Krautrock to Berlin-school over a 30 year period.

During one of the Cosmic Courier sessions, Grosskopf had a revelation that his drumming followed too much in the footsteps of others. He quit Wallenstein, and his interest switched to electronic music. His metronomic time-keeping proved invaluable for some of the Berlin school forerunners.

Two inextricably linked albums that hinted at what electronic music could have evolved into, but alas did not.
